Wow.... time just hasn't stopped, or even paused, to let me get caught up. We have had a month of sickness, of tears and fits, of not enough sleep... and that was just the parents. Our kids were quick to follow suit.

Ticee helped me make Valentine cards and I just sent them out yesterday. They were supposed to fill in the space left from not getting Christmas cards out. Oh, bother... But, they are out now. And... we are all very excited to have received Valentine's Day cards from out dear, sneaky, pregnant Ticee.

I am telling you, the story about her "issue" with Arby's... them not having pickles in the entire establishment. That should have tipped us all off. Pickles... freak out in public... Hmmmmm

Pregnancy... Good times...

I look out and see two little cats with fountain hair do's, and I can't believe I have two babies! TWO... we are so lucky.

You know how when you haven't talked to someone for a long time you don't have much to say... but if you talk to people everyday you have lots to say. Well, I feel like that on the blog... I'm not quite sure what to say.

So I will end with a wish that you could all watch my novela. Zorro is on Telemundo and I am loving it! I love what they wear... I love how silly Diego is, trying to be goofy, when we all know how tough he is as Zorro. It is just great and I can't wait to watch it tonight. : )

I am also glad that Jericho is back... and Lost... and I highly reccommend Friday Night Lights. Love it! Yes, I know I watch too much TV... but soon it will be summer and reruns will force me into gardening or something.

I hope Jodi is having fun!!! I have been watching the Price Is Right in her honor.

Love ya!

I'm Back.... Almost.

We had a great time going down to see Cassius for his birthday... and Susan for the day after, after her birthday. I wish we all lived close because my kids love playing with their cousins!

I wish I had a house like the lodge and I would invite you all to come and live with me. : ) And we could laugh and cook and clean together everyday. Hmmm. Sounds like I just want somebody, anybody to help me cook and clean. Not that Rachel's help isn't appreciated every time I open the dishwasher door. She starts unloading and handing silverware, plates, etc. to me to take care of. Cute. Mark my words, she will be my best cleaner-upper in about 13 years. Ouch, that is a long time....

Big News... Alicia had her tiny baby. Congrats Alicia (and Nathan)!!

I have been doing Weight-Watchers... and I love it. I am finally in control of my appetites. It has been a few years coming. I can't believe that like one month ago I couldn't say no if someone offered me a cookie. Even if it were a thumbprint cookie with jam in the middle (does anyone really like those?). Craziness... it is like I am a drug adict (junk food adict) and I just went through re-hab. Hurray! I am super excited.

Tomorrow is B's birthday. Five years old! What a cutie. We found the greatest pinata for only $14! It is a big round one with cones and streamers... Power Ranger is what he chose. Sound familiar Cash? Cassius chose a Power Ranger cake for his B-day.

Big news... B just informed me that it is almost Plankton's B-day.

I really should blog about fighting with E because he won't buy me jewelery even if we had a lot of money... He thinks it is a waste of money. I want him to buy me something I want. While trying to explain this he burst out, "If we had a lot of money I would buy you a Ferrari." I started tearing up saying he probably would, even though I couldn't ever drive it because it is a two seater and I am never alone. Before I started crying he started laughing assuring me he wasn't going to buy a Ferrari. I've got a few issues I am afraid, so I won't blog about that.

We went to WIC today, again, for Leah. She is too, too small. She was 2 onces shy of gaining a pound in one month. So, I guess they will still let me keep her. Would that we all had Leah's skinny problems. All of her skirts have safety pins on them because they will slip right off with out some help.

Big news... NASCAR starts this week. Get ready for the Daytona 500. E's car is Jeff Gordon #24 (Dupont) and my car is Rookie Dave Gillilad (sp?)#38 (M&M). I chose my car because it is the cutest car out there. Big ol' M&M's on the car. Cute... and fast. Let's not forget fast.

Well, I'm off to check the mail to see if my Valentine came from Ticee yet. The wait is killing me!

Love to all....
